Thank you!! I'm now thinking a pram will be a second boat... Found these things, called "sneak boxes"... Some are like prams with a deck.. great...
This is great, Troy!.... very informative... Thank you. So, with a 1/4" bottom, did you glass the bottom, too? What's the formula for a scarph...
Yes,, it's coming down to some sort of boat, similar to this Mekong boat,, only much shorter and a bit wider. My real concern is building...
Thank you for that! I was actually going to taper/trim the back for hydrodynamics,, but/and I'm only using this to get to a destination, rather...
I just checked in and found two more responses.... Yes, my 16'x48" driftboat is more than needed for little riffles,, or even bigger water. I've...
Something similar to my wants... Maybe a bit big:...
I forgot to post this pic with the others:
Thanks!
I wasn't sure a sneakbox would provide the room for me and my dog and dekes.... and, I'd like to drift a bit, too. But I'll have another look....
Hi All! I'm wanting to build a ~10pram for hunting with my dog 'round lake/marsh margins and for crossing the river and mellow water anchoring...
Ya,, I deleted the part about the wife,,,, but there was an encounter with the shoulder of my driftboat, with a log in a log jam and my 170# wife...

I'm wanting, I think, a 10' pram to take my 100#dog and dekes and me 220# around the lake margins. I also want to use this to cross the river and...
So, it's sounding like since this is a little row boat, I can do a flare of 20-30/70-60/110-120 degrees and not encounter a greater difficulty...
Not a jon boat..... Uh,, yes and no... Jon boats are nice, but I'm wanting more of a drifter and something smaller to take my large dog and dekes...
If I go to 12'ply(11'-6") x 44/45", will it still behave well in the river? Can I keep a SNG version under 100#?
I agree. But, there's tweeking that can be done. Many driftboats are for loading gear and big clients and some, for pulling plugs. Some are...
Yes, I have looked at The Stubby before. I think a Vee shape of any kind is out, for me, as some of the places I'll beach this are gravel bars,...
Thank you, Petros! Actually, I'm not sailing, or moving fast.. I'll be drifting and rowing. But/And, I do want the current-facing transom to be...
